Get a taste of Old Town White Coffee in Caloocan
Here, you can sit and enjoy a leisurely cup of the super-smooth classic brew, whether you prefer it hot or cold to beat the sizzling Philippine heat.

Cold teas are available, too, if you want something extra refreshing.
Moreover, there’s food to pair with your yummy drinks! Known for championing authentic Malaysian cuisine, Old Town Coffee serves a tasty selection of nasi lemak, which is a hearty dish of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaves. Savour it with chicken rendang, chicken curry laksa, or crispy chicken. The house speciality, Old Town Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun, is also a must-try.
